Art Quote by Jimmy Fallon
“In several speeches and interviews, Donald Trump has brought up his book 'The Art of the Deal,' and said that Obama would have negotiated a better deal with Iran if he had read it. It got even more awkward for Obama when Iran was like, 'It worked for us - you guys got screwed!'”

He jokes that Trump’s praise of “The Art of the Deal” as a guide for Obama’s Iran negotiations is absurd, especially when Iran claims the book’s tactics backfired on them.
